In dash CD deck won't play. you can hear it keep changing disc's. It will load and unload CD's Radio plays just not CD's Any Ideas? Before I crack open the dash?? Layne12gun
The Bose units are the same for all four years. If you choose to replace your unit, I think you will need to have it programmed with your vehicle ID..... since the anti-theft system is tied to the radio....... Comments from someone with direct experience replacing the head unit would be useful here.....Is your Boss unit the original equipment for the 05? If so I am interested. I am trying to keep mine all original as log as i can. Thanks

Yes, replacing the factory head unit with a similar one from another truck, SSR or not, will require reprogramming, e.g. with a Tech 2 or equivalent, to match the VIN of the truck to the radio. If this is not done the radio will operate upon its first power up but then will, as designed with its anti-theft feature, lock up and not function upon the next attempt. There are videos that discuss hacking radios to bypass the anti-theft feature but I have no experience with that.The Bose units are the same for all four years.
